How To Use
  • Use Artificial Tear in the eye as directed.
  • To apply eye ointment/drops: Wash hands first.
  • To avoid contamination, be careful not to touch the dropper or top of the ointment tube or let it touch your eye.

  • For drops, place the dropper directly over the eye and administer the prescribed number of drops.
  • Look downward and gently close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Place one finger at the corner of the eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure.
  • This will prevent the medication from draining away from the eye.

  • Slowly roll your eye in all directions to spread the ointment.
